Treefall Gap Dynamics

Treefall Gap Dynamics is a ecological process model that describes the mechanisms and successional patterns of forest regeneration following the creation of canopy openings due to the fall of individual trees, distinguishing itself by focusing on the spatial and temporal dynamics of light penetration, species recruitment, and microenvironmental change within small-scale canopy gaps.
